URL obfuscation

URL obfuscation is an encoding technique that scrambles the characters in a URL or query string as a security measure, to make the URL contents less easily interpreted by people or HTTP "sniffers".

PRPC includes a JavaScript package SafeURL to convert obfuscated URLs to and from an XML name-value pair.

Server processing of SafeURL strings depends on the value of two prconfig.xml entries or Dynamic System Settings: Initialization/SubmitObfuscatedURL and Initialization/urlencryption.
